Poupou art

This week in Te ngahere we have been doing Poupou art. Poupou art is a traditional carved pole usually having some significance to the iwi where it stands so we decided to turn this in to art. We first started a practise copy on an A4 paper. We started with sketching out our poupou’s main body parts lightly than we practised drawing patterns on a seperate piece of paper than drawing them where we wanted to put them on our poupou body, we also had to make sure our patterns we're not to small because we would be colouring them in  with pastel. After drawing our poupou and putting our designs on them we than outlined it in vivid than we use colors that complemented each other or looked good together to color it in. After our practise copy we then repeated the process on to an A3 paper as our good copy.

Have you ever tried Poupou art?
